Open equipment
These modules are open equipment. This means they may only be installed in housings,
cabinets, or in electrical equipment rooms that can only be entered or accessed with a key or
tool. Housings, cabinets, or electrical equipment rooms may only be accessed by trained or
authorized personnel. An external fire-protection housing is required.
Observe the following points during installation:
● The device should be connected only to 24 VDC power supply networks that meet the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV). The cable cross-section must be chosen
large enough to ensure that no damage can result from cable overheating in the event of
a short-circuit in the SIMOTION P320-4.
● Avoid extreme ambient conditions.
● Protect the device against dust, moisture, heat and severe vibration.
● Do not subject the SIMOTION P320-4 to direct sunlight.
● Install the device in such a way that it poses no danger, for example, by falling over.
● The clearance around the SIMOTION P320-4 must be at least 100 mm to ensure adequate
ventilation.
● Do not cover the ventilation slots.
